It has been a while since I worked on this project, the Sporozoan Swarm is running me ragged. Before I began The Swarm I was working on a project in which I asked people to send me an item of clothing and I would modify it with The Sporozoan. I started out just screen printing the image on t-shirts and the like but then I started getting excited about sewing and began embroidering articles of clothing.
Katrina was very daring in sending me a dress and telling to me to go for it. I cut into it and added bits and pieces and did a lot of hand as well as machine embroidery to the dress. Now that I have finally seen the dress on her I am excited to breath some life back into this project. We shall see what the next few days bring in the life of The Sporozoan Embroidery project.
My sister is a clothing designer near you. I really think you should meet.
When I received the dress back in the mail, I was amazed at the Robroy’s technique. Superb craftsmanship, and the placement is great too– sporozoan expanding towards my head and back/bottom.
Sorry it took so long to get pictures… I was hoping for some candids, but it seems I need to take more matters into my own hands.
